Honda Civic Accessories and Modifications

after two years of owning my 1999 civic ex i was beginning to get bored. last year i installed a bozooka tube. please bear in mind that if you splice the wires it will void your new car warranty. couple of months ago i installed an air horn system. again all work was done by me without splicing any wires. ask here or e-mail if interested in details

2k-EX. That could be relative. How did you hook up the Bazooka signal, speaker level? That voids your warranty - installation of a non-spec part. I swapped out the head/speakers with aftermarket units, and added a 10" passive bazooka. That effectively voids the stereo system.Personally, I saw no point in getting a connector/adapter to mate between the factory dash wiring connector and the Blaupunkt CD-Player. What for, since you have to splice somewhere - I made my own custom distribution-block. Besides, you're still out of warranty the moment you installed the aftermarket head (irrelevant of keeping the oem connector intact).I did, however, disassemble the speaker connectors and hooked up the spade female terminals directly to the Pioneer Front-6.5s/Rear-6x9s. No splicing, but still voiding the warranty - again, installation of non-spec parts (even though the oem speakers are Pioneer).Finally, when you plan and verify every connection with a multi-meter, then specific warranties are relative.

the bazooka is connected at the speaker level, i just stripped the bazooka wire and stuck it in the connector on either side, ran a power wire from the fuse block (i bought "add a circuit" fuse block) and put in the spot where the lighter fuze was. if i have to take my honda to the dealer and i have a suspision that he will be a prick, i can easily disconnect the bazooka, and take it out. it will take less than a minute. i am a little bit weary of replacing the rear speakers, it seems like i would have to remove the hat shelf (rear shelf), the door speakers are easily replacable, but i haven`t done anything, because bazooka gives me enough base, so i don`t have to crank the stereo, and i don`t get to the point where the stock speakers start fuzzing.

Just purchased a 99' hatch back w/o AC. The dealer wanted $1,500 to install a Honda unit. Any help in how to get Air conditioning installed in the Boston, MA area for a reasonable cost, will be appreciated.

I just got some of these and am a little disappointed with the fit. The holes on the driver's mat doesn't appear to line up with the anchors in the floor. Does anyone else have these? I'd appreciate hearing your experience with them.

rays69 - You can check out www.handa-accessories.com/crv/keyless.gif It shows you how to program your keyless entry remote. Some dealers will do it for you at no charge. I think they (www.handa-accessories.com) also sell a brand new remote for about $80.00.

Agree, why get an aftermarket alarm. I cant tell you the number of times I have been in for service and have seen another customer in there because some after market alarm messed up their electrical system. And some of those systems were dealer installed.

I want to add a 12 V lighter or power outlet to the right of the shifter where a blank button is located. Anyone done this and can you help me do it? The Si TypeR that is sold in UK has a lighter already installed in the location that I want to install one.

Definitely. While a matter of personal taste, the one option I always recommend on Civics is the fabric floor mats. They fit like a glove and are extremely durable (or at least I've never put a hole in one under the right heel of the driver side, which I have in other cars).

I am a happy owner of a 02 civic 2dr lx a/t and a 02 cr-v the floor mats on the civic are twice as thick and look better than the cr-v. The cr-v are very thin and after a few month the right heel area was looking thinner i bought a set of all weather mats they are nice and thick and that will protect the mats.Greetings from sunny Miami

I purchased my 2001 Civic EX Coupe used with 10,250miles. The original owner had started to modify the car with a Apexi performance exhaust and Motegi wheels. For whatever reason he traded the car for a new Maxima.The exhaust was too noisy for me and I replaced it. I would like to sell it but don't know how. The list on it was $599.00. Would appreciate ideas. Thanks

I did installed a keyless entry on my o2 cr-v and it was very easy, about the Security System it might take a little more reading and time but, what tell you that if you take it to the honda dealer to have it done the guy might be doin the same thing "reading the instruction" and charge you lots of $$.Greetings from sunny miami.

Are there any CD Changers (other then the OEM model) that will interface with the AM/FM/Cassette in a '02 Civic LX without an adapter? Also, does anyone know if the Civic is prewired for a CD Changer and if so where are the wires located?

http://www.handa-accessories.com is selling them for $120 each ($240 total). I had one dealer match their price plus shipping with $100 for installation. the second dealer wouldn't budge from $190/$175 for parts and over $200 for installation! Guess which dealer I'm never going back to!

I placed an order with Handa-accessories and am planning to install myself. I will report back with my experience....

I received my order from Handa-accessorries and attempted installation tonight. After an hour an half, I managed to install the security system but not keyless entry.

The installation instruction for security system mentions "removeing the bold that secures the cruise control unit to the steering column bracket". I looked everywhere for 30 minutes before giving up on locating the cruise control unit. Since the cruise control unit itself is not involved except securing the security system unit, I found another location to secure the security system unit.

The manual for keyless entry system instructs "Remove the dashboard center lower cover by gently prying out the lower cover to release the six retaining clip". It looked to me, however, that won't be possible without either taking out entire center colsole from the dashboard or taking out the center console. I could figure out how to do either. So, I gave up.

Any insight on how to remove "the dashboard center lower cover" would be appreciated. By the way, it's the one with accessory socket and the optional flog light switch.
